Are you interested in giving a bit more detail into your view of these
cycles and the structure which underlies them?

Last night driving home in more traffic than I like, I began to think
about using modeling to gain an understanding of ways to control urban
growth (not the first time someone has done this, I know). Perhaps doing
it would teach me something, though.

Bill
